Teriyaki chicken meat balls

The other day i told you that my son Desmond refused to take my bento lunch as he is prefered to the foods from canteen..But now no more, ﻿he is keeps asking me to bring bento lunch for him, you know why, because his classmates always praise on his bento lunch. So now he is very proud to have bento lunch, little boy is little boy, hehehe..

Today i made this Teriyaki chicken meat balls for bento lunch. I like to use those tough part of chicken e.g chicken breast or meat attached to chicken wings to make into meat balls..

After i have learned on how to make Teriyaki sauce from the scratch from Nami (Just One cookbook), no more buying store-bought Teriyaki sauce because this sauce is very good (I increased the sugar amount because we prefer slightly sweet sauce).. Thanks to Nami for her kind sharing.

I was intending to leave a comment at your pumpkin buns post but got this instead lol! Lovely buns by the way, like the way you shape them into pumpkins. I just got this Happy Call Pan too and have yet to use it. I got tempted by the video in the online shopping deal! Going to bookmark this for cooking!

Teriyaki Chicken is a well known dish to everyone and you....oh, make it into meatballs. What a wonderful idea for children. I'm sure they love this very much. Children always loves unique & different things and Desmond can have healthy lunch now.

sooo cute! I made bento box for myself too during undergraduate, and my friends even bought me a cute Japanese bento box for my birthday present. This really reminds me of the good old days during college :)

I always love yr blog....anyway, what time yr kid leave for school? We can prepare ahead at night n reheat the next morning? My kids leave for school at 6.30am.... How to pack lunch for them in such early hour?

Anonymous, Sorry, I always forgot to mention in my post, actually the school just 5mins away from my house, I sent bento lunch box during their lunch break. I think is quite hard for you to prepare lunch box early as 6.30am.

Desmond must be very proud of you, I wonder if he tell all his friends about ur blog, haha.

I used to buy this teriyaki chicken ball from Jap "satay stall" in the shopping mall few years back,, one stick was SGD1+ that time, not sure how much now coz long time never buy. I can make at home now.

Oh Sonia this looks really delicious! I can't believe your son would prefer canteen food over yours! If my mum could cook like you I'd consider myself lucky!! Anyway, these teriyaki balls look really good. I just bought a bottle of mirin. Can't wait to start making Japanese food!

hi sonia,your bento lunch idea is really wonderful.. really give me some fresh ideas for my kids lunch pack.. i have ran out of ideas..i hv been packing the same lunch pack for them almost every day :p

hi sonia...i always lack of ideas on how & what to prepare for my kids lunch pack. ur recipe give me some ideas on how to variety my list. hehe, beg have to skip sake & mirin of course. tq for sharing....opps almost forgot, what actually the one u sprinkle ontop of the rice? if u don't mind sharing ;)

Hi Sonia, I love your creativity to serve the Teriyaki chicken meatballs, on bamboo sticks...in fact, for sure I will be serving it this way next time!

I made almost the exact recipe a couple days ago...(no photos)...it was late.

I made my Teriyaki meatballs with beef, and added a tablespoon of my mango chutney to the sauce, which really added a nice 'zip' to it!Love your take on this yummy dish!I pinned it on Pinterest...so photo worthy pretty:D

WOW...This looks terrific..I love the Bento Idea..Ur son is lucky to have a mom like you. God bless.I had done terriyaki sauce but without mirin and sake, a long time back..Loved ur grater, Happy call pan and the aluminium pan u have used here. Wish to be a happy call pan owner someday.THE Veggies have u just boiled them in water and salt?? You could steam them to prevent loosing their nutrutious value and sprinkle some salt after its cooked..

Thanks Sonia for the kind mention again! I was so busy I couldn't even check your email update till now and surprised with two posts with my name in them. :D I'm so happy you liked this teriyaki sauce. We actually love flavor on sweet side, but that usually happens when I don't measure and cook. ;-) Isn't the Japanese grater amazing? I can't live without it. I grind onions (when I make dressing etc and I need only a bit), ginger, daikon... pretty much everything and it's so convenient to wash and etc. I'm making these meat balls for my son's lunch this year! I shared both posts on my facebook fan page and I hope you didn't mind. Let me know if you want me to take it down. :-)

I love this teriyaki chicken meatball very much. So glad to know you have the HCP, as i have bought one too but couldnt figure out what am I suppose to do with the rubber thingy, which came along with the pan, as the instructions in Korean.Can i check it out with you if i still couldnt figure out later?

Sem, I don't know what did you mean by rubber thingy. I have only one rubber ring ( the red rubber ring installed on the pan) which come along with the pan, it is a spare unit to replace when the existing rubber ring get loose.

Very yummy chicken meatballs! Recipe definitely for keeps! I used store-bought teriyaki sauce though. A bit too salty for us so I will cut down on the salt/chicken stock powder portion. Thanks for sharing, Sonia!Jancy ❤️
